Trump’s Greenland ‘framework’ deal: What we know about it, what we don’t

AI Summary

long article 10 min

In January 2026, President Trump announced a "framework of a future deal" with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte regarding Greenland and the Arctic region, following a meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Trump reiterated his desire to acquire Greenland, but ruled out using force. The agreement reportedly involves increased Arctic security from NATO countries and the withdrawal of threatened US tariffs on European nations opposed to the sale. The proposed deal also includes discussions about the "Golden Dome" missile defense program and its relevance to Greenland. Further negotiations, led by Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and Special Envoy Witkoff, are planned, with more details to be released as progress is made. Both Denmark and Greenland maintain that the island is not for sale.
